Sandrolls

My children
strongly dislike sandwiches.I would
almost say that they are borderline bread haters.No. 1 will eat a sandwich only if there’s
really nothing else available.No. 2
will refuse sandwiches even though there is absolutely nothing else.Bread is just not a popular meal in my house.Apart from
coating both sides of the bread with pure sugar, I’ve tried everything I can
think of to get them to eat sandwiches or just bread in general.I’ve tried coating the bread in egg then
frying it ie. French toast.No
luck.I’ve tried bread and butter
pudding.No luck.Seriously.Anyway, life
would be so much easier if they would eat sandwiches.We could have simple cheese or tuna
sandwiches, chicken and sweet corn sandwiches and even a more gourmet feta cheese,
roast pepper and spinach sandwich.I
could whip up a no-cook dinner in 5 minutes instead of slaving over a hot stove
(or microwave!).So in a
desperate attempt to disguise the sandwiches, I presented them in a different
form, what I call ‘sandrolls’!I came
across this idea somewhere on the internet, can’t remember where though.The photos looked better on the internet,
much more spirally! Perhaps I needed a
filling with a stronger contracting colour?I used 2 fillings: a grated cheddar cheese, cream cheese and pineapple
filling and a tuna roast pepper and garlic mayonnaise filling.

Grated
cheddar cheese filling:

Grate a
chunk of cheddar cheese; mix with spoonfuls of cream cheese and mashed/grated
pineapple.No measurements, I just added
to my taste.

Sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh..'sandrolls' too good!Forget afternoon tea parties, I want a sandroll party!!! very funny. They look a very anglicised Sushi roll. ;-)Good on you for going to such efforts...

How about tortilla wraps or some other flat bread like pita bread? Oops, pita bread still has "bread" in it but it does not look like traditional bread though - still not easily fooled huh? Hmmmm...how I agree that it will be much easier if they like sandwiches a little more....

hehe.. they are so creative! Dedicated mum that u are. some studies showed that the nutritional value of bread is debatable. How about lettuce wraps? or even zucchini burger where the zucchini is the "bread"?
